Discord Image Sizes 2026: The Complete Guide
Learn the correct Discord image sizes for 2026. Server icons, banners, profile pictures, and emoji — every dimension for a polished Discord server.
A pixelated server icon or a stretched banner makes your Discord community look unpolished before anyone reads a message. This guide covers every Discord image size you need in 2026 — server icons, banners, and profile pictures.

Server Icons: Simple Wins at Small Sizes
Your server icon is the first thing members and visitors see in the Discord sidebar. It displays at just 96×96 px cropped into a circle, but you should upload at 512×512 px minimum for sharp display on all screens.
Design tips for server icons:
Server Banners: Boost Level 2 Required
Server banners display above the channel list on your server. They require Boost Level 2 and display at 960×540 px (16:9). Upload at this exact size for the best results.
Banners support animated GIFs for Boost Level 3 servers. For static banners, use a simple, atmospheric image — it sits behind your channel list, so avoid busy designs that compete with the channel names.
User Profile Pictures and Banners
User avatars display as circles throughout Discord. Upload at 128×128 px minimum — larger uploads (up to 1024×1024 px for Nitro users) display more sharply on high-DPI screens.
User profile banners (Nitro feature) display at 600×240 px behind your avatar on your profile card. Keep key visual content in the upper-center area, as the bottom edge is where your avatar overlaps.
Custom Emoji: Keep It Readable
Custom server emoji upload at 128×128 px and must be under 256 KB. Emoji are displayed very small in chat — around 22×22 px inline. Design with bold, simple shapes and strong contrast. Animated GIF emoji are supported for Nitro servers.
